Power of the Mind Networks exists to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing women from becoming socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. We do this by providing a platform where people can share their lived experiences thereby empowering them to find their voice.

SN are collaborators and work in partnership with communities and organisations. SN aim communities in the lead of social action and at the heart of change. We co-design and work in partnership with local people and communities and take a community development approach to building strong, resilient communities, improving people’s wellbeing and building strong organisations.
Dostiyo (meaning friendship in Urdu) Asian Women and Girls Organisation was established in 1979 to promote stronger ties and well being in the local community of Northampton. It works to overcome barriers of language, culture, racial prejudice and isolation that Asian women and girls often face in their daily lives. Their needs are addressed in a relaxed and friendly manner.








We focus on improving and enhancing the lives of families in particular vulnerable women, young people and children living in the community. We also focus on education and re-employment, health and personal well-being by providing training, skills nurturing and development through sports and recreational activities. 

We use a social enterprise model to promote cohesion and integration among marginalised communities. We believe migrant communities should thrive within British culture. We therefore encourage people to improve their English and communication skills. We also support individuals from ethnic minority communities – especially women – to develop their vocational skills, so that they can achieve their employment potential.
